My good friend Rex and I (and our families) were sitting around lunch Saturday and we were invaded by a bunch of old guys wearing fezes…or is it fezzes? The upside down popcorn bucket hats with tassels on them – those hats. Shriners. Appears that the circus is in town – literally – and they always seem to help kids.
But it did bring up a crucial question in the history of humanity. Where’s the 2nd guy? Meaning, it is completely understandable for one individual to do or wear or say something utterly ridiculous. It is on the 2nd guy to correct that behavior so that it does not turn into a social phenomenon. The Macarana immediately comes to mind.
It’s the 2nd guy who could have stopped the insanity by saying — “There’s no way you’re wearing that bucket on your head” but obviously he didn’t. He lied and therein gave credibility to something utterly ridiculous.
So this is the partial list we came up with…add others as they hit you.
Fez hats with tassels
Rocky Mountain Oysters
Double Luge
Running with Bulls
Bungee Jumping – we had some disagreement here. I mean, if the first guy didn’t die — it’s legit.
Fire Walking
Ear Gauging
Milking a Cow – think about it…
Mullets
Exercising in spandex

while reading 1 samuel tonight, i came across a perfect example: 70 guys died looking into the ark of the covenant. what was the 70th guy thinking? didn’t he see all the 69 before him drop dead? the ark wasn’t that big; it wasn’t like they all looked at the same time…
nice post Grant…funny enough that my wife saw me reading from across the room and asked what I was looking at. Apparently it stirred some smiles worth questioning.
